After showing it off in camouflaged form, the latest-generation hot hatch comes at a great time as the Civic badge celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. All in all, it has sold around 27 million units in over 170 countries across 11 generations. Moreover, the Type R badge itself will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in November.

Honda hasn’t revealed much details surrounding the all-new Civic Type R, but reports say it’ll likely continue with its 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo engine that pushes out more than 300 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. This will drive the front wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

Whatever the powertrain, Honda has promised that it’ll become the best-handling Civic Type R ever.
